⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Came to me at the fence line,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

long faced, panting from the sprint⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

across the paddock. Dust still hung⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

from back legs kicking, pushed⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

forward with snort, with warm⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

breath, the space between us⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

closed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here a wild thing contained,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

at full gallop he runs out of room⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

after eleven seconds,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

somewhere inside he remembers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

what it was to run. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I know you, though you have forgotten,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

for I am you, out of room⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

after eleven seconds, after⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

your legs just start remembering⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

the wildness caged.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My hand on the side of your face,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

not a jitter or jolt⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

when you felt it come to rest.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Kick out and send dust into the air,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

sprint until you’re half a second beyond⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

running out of room.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
